About
Dr. Manigandan Chockalingam is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation and assistive technology, with a particular focus on understanding the human experience behind robotic interventions. His work bridges the gap between clinical engineering and patient-centered care, exploring how upper limb rehabilitation robots are perceived and adopted by both stroke survivors and healthcare professionals. Dr. Chockalingam’s landmark qualitative systematic review protocol, which has garnered 7 citations, provides a critical framework for evaluating patient and practitioner experiences with robotic devices—an area often overlooked in favor of purely technical outcomes. This foundational work highlights his commitment to ensuring that rehabilitation technologies are not only effective but also acceptable and meaningful to those who use them. By synthesizing qualitative evidence, he has helped shape more holistic approaches to post-stroke recovery, influencing how future robotic systems are designed and implemented. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of rehabilitation engineering, patient experience, and evidence-based practice, as he champions a human-first perspective in a rapidly advancing technological field.
